Ok, lot's of exciting developments with AVR2.
Hooked up Xbox 360 with composite cables, I got video but no sound.
Hooked up Blu-ray player via HDMI, I got video but no sound.
Hooked up iPhone via the front analog inputs (AUX), I got no sound.
At least video is working. I didn't not check every hdmi input, but I will do that soon.
While the unit was powered on I took a heatgun to the DTS chip just enough to warm it up, no change.
I powered off the unit, but kept the iPhone (Pandora) plugged in to the front AUX, <b>I GOT SOUND</b> and the speaker icons are visible.
I only checked one speaker output, but that's good news. I'm letting the unit cool off, and I expect it will go back to being broken.
If that happens, I'll pull the HDMI board out of the machine and take a heatgun to the DTS chip to reflow it.
Definitely need to write things down as they happen. A couple of days ago I could have sworn it had no video, but now that I think about it I'm unclear as to what I first saw. If the reflow works I'm going to buy a couple of copper ramsinks and make sure the DTS chip stays cool. I did notice that the internal fan never kicks on, might have to run the heatgun over the temp sensor to see if I can get it to run.
I'm excited to see one of these receivers come to life, if only temporarily. Can't wait until the parts arrive for AVR1 and I can get it back together.
